Confession time: "unhip," "uncool" music you're embarrassed to admit liking.

[Tugger]

I don't care whether the music I like is considered 'uncool'. I'm not embarrassed to admit to liking any music.

Well said.

No joke, the guy who lived next to me sophomore year used to blast Ashanti and Aaron Carter.

I always forget you're Iowa Alum too. So you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Cambus and all.

[Venomous Mask]

I have not heard anything from the Vince Neil solo. I knew one existed but it seemed like as soon as I heard about it, he was back in the band.

It's called Exposed and it came out in 1993. It has the song You're Invited (But Your Friends Can't Come) from Encino Man.

I remember when Always on Time was on the radio.

I thought about posting this, I love this song.

I remember when Always on Time was on the radio.

Ja Rule is a prick, but 'Always on Time' is frequently in my headphones through Spotify.

As is 'Between Me And You'.

As is 'Put It On Me'.

And occasionally 'Wonderful'.

...What can I say, they just bring back memories from secondary school.

This video is not available in my country?

Finally thought of something that might actually fit into the "Unhip"/"Uncool". The "Clunker" King Diamond tunes. Sorta "Fun Against All Odds" -

Now that you mention it, I actually do remember that particular song.

Hootie And The Blowfish struck it big with Cracked Rear View album in the mid-90's. But they were kind of seen as the plain dry toast of pop music then. Even to the point of being spoofed on SNL as the house band of the "Million White Man March" who played to a crowd of drunk yuppies. Bob Dylan's lawyers went after them over this song...

If you are going to go that route, it's worth noting that this tune is from the album Them. That record and the album that followed it Conspiracy were a concept album duo. More info...

There's also some solid gold here -

Going back to the 70s for another embarrassing fave:

In general I feel like people try to pretend they don't like "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys, but in college if you were/are on a Cambus at 2:00am-ish and loudly said, "You are... my fire" without fail, the entire bus would sing the song.

I loved that song. I enjoyed most of their songs. My favorite group at that time after Linkin' Park. I enjoyed this too.

[anyajenkins]

I have way too many weird al songs on my phone for a normal person. In fact the posts talking about Backstreet Boys remind me of the weird al parody song 'eBay'. That is my confession...

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Not enough Eurovision for an uncool/unhip music thread...

Well, Eurovision made THIS group popular all over the world after winning the contest in 1974 with this song:



Yes, I'm an ABBA fan! I don't deny it!

I have plenty of songs marked on my iTunes just so they won't show up on any of my smart playlists. Quite a few of them are Phil Collins songs.
